I Am Bound for the Promised Land

On Jordan's stormy banks I stand

And cast a wishful eye

To Canaan's fair and happy land

Where my possessions lie

I am bound for the promised land

I am bound for the promised land

Oh who will come and go with me

I am bound for the promised land

O'er all those wide extended plains

Shines one eternal day

There God the Son forever reigns

And scatters night away

I am bound for the promised land

I am bound for the promised land

Oh who will come and go with me

I am bound for the promised land

No chilling winds or poisonous breath

Can reach that healthful shore

Sickness and sorrow pain and death

Are felt and feared no more

I am bound for the promised land

I am bound for the promised land

Oh who will come and go with me

I am bound for the promised land

When shall I reach that happy place

I'll be forever blessed

When shall I see my Father's face

And in His bosom rest

I am bound for the promised land

I am bound for the promised land

Oh who will come and go with me

I am bound for the promised land

Filled with delight my rested soul

Would ever longer stay

Though Jordan's winds around me roar

There bliss alone shall weigh

I am bound for the promised land

I am bound for the promised land

Oh who will come and go with me

I am bound for the promised land
